Timeo Danaos Et Dona Ferentes*



A little humor and a little literature today because basically I'm tired of sorting through the veritable mountain of BO's daily screw ups. Ugh!

Anyway...

How different Virgil's Aeneid would've been if the Trojans had had malware detection software. (As always, click to enlarge the image)

And for the curious...

*"Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes" is a Latin phrase from Virgil's Aeneid (II, 49). It means "I fear the Danaans (Greeks) even if they bring gifts" but is often paraphrased to English as "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts".

Hey Cube,

You stopped by my blog a while back and said you are a Bucs fan so sorry about the last minute field goal to beat you guys last Sunday. We lost Ronnie Brown for the season. Ouch!

Love your blog. Have bookmarked it and look forward to visitng it often.

I miss your daily BO update.

Although this is most appropriate to the times.

Cube... nice! I have always used the paraphrased translation... thanks for the real one.

But somehow in my head, it works for being wary of BO too! All the good he "claims" to bring us!

T.T.Douglas: At least with Freeman as QB we have a little hope of actually winning a game here & there.

Sorry about Brown. That's a lot of time to sit out.

Chuck said...

This was a laugh out loud post, had to call Brenda over to see it.

T. T. Douglas said...

Yep, Freeman looks like he has talent and brawn. He's hard to bring down and gives some hope to you guys.

P.S. My wife has said if Pelosi ever ascended to B.O.'s post she would leave the country, with or without me and the kids. Happily that will never happen. We just have to wait out the present times. Cheers.

I'm going to forward this to my IT guy!!! HA HA!!!

cube said...

Chuck: Yeah, it's worth klicking on it to be able to see all the clever detail.

T.T. Douglas: Pelousy is too close for comfort. Third in line is just way too scary to even contemplate. What were these people thinkging wen they made her Speaker?

EDGE: It's IT humor. I hope he likes it.
